If you are passionate about horses, you will agree that nothing quite beats the thrill of exploring on horseback. We offer two riding centres, both of which have proved incredibly popular over the years, with many of our customers choosing to return for subsequent holidays.

The first is Les Juliannes in south-west France, which offers local riding for all levels from absolute beginner upwards. Whether you have never ridden a horse or have been riding for years but want to improve your jumping skills, you can learn or improve under expert instruction.

The second is Can Jou in Spanish Catalonia, which offers a wide range of holidays for different levels of rider: local riding for less experienced riders, centre-based trail rides, and thrilling trails from inn to inn for those looking for more demanding riding and longer days in the saddle.

Whatever you choose, you will find the atmosphere to be relaxed and informal - these holidays are not only about getting out on horseback and enjoying excellent riding in delightful corners of south-west France and eastern Spain, but also about having fun and making new friends. Beautiful scenery, excellent mounts, knowledgeable guides, good company, good food, characterful accommodation and a friendly atmosphere make for a thoroughly enjoyable week away.

Both centres offer riding throughout October and into November, great times to enjoy these sunny southern regions and the beautiful autumn colours.

Please ask us before or at the time of booking which holidays are best suited to your dietary requirements.
